    Smart home type stuff is with minor exceptions a total nightmare. Bad security, bad privacy, and bad longevity. Just no. There are some of these things that just don’t work without connection back to the mother-ship, or at least lack major features. Generally it is recommended that if you do have these sorts of things, put them on a separate network at least.










  • It is complicated. There is land out there that is not suitable for agriculture on one hand so free range grass fed might not be that bad, but herd animals produce methane too which is a powerful greenhouse gas. Then there is the whole question of eating meat from live animals as well if one cares about that and synthetic might be a way around that. Then of course the whole eco footprint issue. It would be interesting to know more.





  • There is an advantage of using a provider that suports MTA STS. This is Strict Transport Security and forces at least transport encryption.

    There is an advantage to use a provider you pay for too and at least claims not to read your email.

    It is also nice if they can host your domain and have good delivery.

    Edit: I meant MTA STS not SMTP STS.
